As of early 2007 factory refurbished units are about $600. It replaced the EOS D60, which is also a 6.3-megapixel digital SLR camera. It is succeeded by the EOS 20D. It does not accept EF-S lenses.

EOS 10D sits in the prosumer (professional-consumer) line of digital SLR cameras that Canon manufactures.

Improvements

There are a number of improvements that the EOS 10D has over the EOS D60, although its resolution remained unchanged. These improvements are largely evolutionary rather than revolutionary, although EOS 10D users will appreciate these changes.

* Improved 7-point AF system—up from EOS D60's 3-point AF system—that is more sensitive and covers a wider area
* Quieter shutter release and mirror flip; in fact it is one of the quietest so far compared to its predecessors and successors
* Shorter shutter release lag and viewfinder blackout
* FAT32 support for CompactFlash cards larger than 2 GB in capacity
* Canon-designed DIGIC image processor that produces higher quality images with lower power consumption
* Extended ISO film speed range of ISO 100 to ISO 1600, with ISO 3200 available upon activation of a custom function
* Orientation sensor that automatically tags the orientation of the image during capture and subsequently rotates the image to the correct orientation during playback
